Abdominal Fat of Broilers as Influenced by Dietary Level of Animal Fat
نویسنده
چکیده
In an attempt to determine the effect of dietary energy source on the quantity of abdominal fat in broilers, three levels of dietary animal fat (4, 7, and 10%) in isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets were fed in place of a carbohydrate energy source. Three trials were conducted. As dietary animal fat increased, the amount of abdominal fat in broilers increased under both a moderateand a high-temperature rearing regimen. However, as dietary animal fat increased, the body weight gain in broilers tended to increase. It is possible that the benefits of increased growth outweigh the disadvantages of increased abdominal fat when dietary fat is added. Data are presented to provide the industry with figures to help in this decision. (

متن کاملModulation of serum and liver triglyceride and abdominal fat pad weight by dietary garlic in male broilers
In poultry, the liver is the main organ for the synthesis of triglycerides (TG) and their secretion into the plasma. Secretion of TGs from the liver and their storage in adipose tissue of the abdominal cavity reduces the meat yield. There are controversial reports about the effects of garlic on the levels of TG in the serum and liver of poultry. In this study, different diets that contained var...

Utilizing a moderate rearing temperature regimen, two trials were conducted to determine the effect of dietary energy level on the amount of abdominal fat deposited when broilers are grown to equal body weight by varying growth time. The most abdominal fat (2.29% average of live weight for male and females) was produced by broilers offered a diet calculated to contain 3325 ME kcal/kg. The least...
